Celebrating 7 years of Expert Thinking!

Recently we marked a special milestone for Expert Thinking – we turn 7 years old! So much has happened since June 2017 when Ben Fry and John Shortt founded the company with a vision. From day one, we've been devoted to upholding the values that our company was founded on, and seeing our people today, it's clear we're on the right path. And we're even more excited to show you everything to come.

Thanks to our incredible team for their hard work, creativity, and spirit!
